Place and Origin

A friend in Kamakura gave me Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet" to read as I was trying to come to terms with ending a 15-year-long chapter of my life in Japan. The quote I saved in my notes was: "We are born, so to speak, provisionally, it doesn't matter where; it is only gradually that we compose, within ourselves, our true place of origin, so that we may be born there retrospectively."
